Maryland divorce litigation heating up?
There is evidence that divorce litigation may be increasing as the economy slowly recovers. Parties were waiting for the economy to improve before filing for divorce. This can be a useful strategy depending on how the assets might be valued. House values, retirement accounts, and in some cases, business values have dropped since the beginning of the recession and have not yet returned to their prior levels. That can be a real boon to the spouse who wants to buy out the other spouse. Finally, not having a job or having an income that has been substantially reduced will have a substantial impact on alimony negotiations. There has been a uptick in cases in Anne Arundel and Calvert Counties along with some increase in Howard and Queen Anne's.
